Investigating Health & Safety Incidents

Health & safety incidents can be the result of genuine mistakes or plain bad luck, but they can also be a consequence of shortfalls in our systems for managing health & safety. 

Following up incidents with investigation ensures that we explore this possibility and catch issues at the soonest opportunity. Positive improvements can be made to prevent similar incidents from happening again, or developing into more serious problems over time which could even have wider consequences across the university. 

A robust and consistent investigation process is needed to keep high standards of safety, health & welfare at the university.
